### What is this about?

Research direction
The issue identifies the send flow and includes a screenshot of the insufficient-gas error for non-native tokens, but names no files, tests, design, or acceptance criteria. Start by reproducing the low-gas state in the send flow and tracing where that message is produced; the work is done when users can understand their available native-token gas while sending another asset, with the expected wording and layout confirmed by design and product.
